Overview
- The OnePlus 15R, which reflected updated prices Monday on Amazon India, now lists at ₹54,999 for 12GB+256GB and ₹59,999 for 12GB+512GB.
- The jump takes the phone ₹7,000 over its December launch tags of ₹47,999 and ₹52,999 after several revisions.
- OnePlus has not given a reason for this latest change, though in March Oppo and OnePlus confirmed an earlier rise tied to pricier RAM and storage parts.
- Realme also lifted rates across the Realme 16 series and cited higher memory, chipset and overall smartphone costs, with several models up by ₹1,000 to ₹3,000.
- Industry reports link rising phone prices to tight DRAM and NAND supply as manufacturers prioritize high‑bandwidth memory for AI data centers, which squeezes parts for handsets.
